This failure seems related but not identical:

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=myna&dt=2022-04-02%2004%3A00%3A26

portals.out is expecting that the "foo25ns" cursor will read
starting at the beginning of tenk1, but it's starting somewhere
else, which presumably is a syncscan effect.

I think the fundamental instability here is that this TAP test is
setting shared_buffers small enough to allow the syncscan logic
to kick in where it does not in normal testing.  Maybe we should
just disable syncscan in this test script?
